THE WILD ROBOT STEM | STEAM Building Challenge Activity Task Cards
By Teaching Dinos
Kids will LOVE these independent The Wild Robot STEM / STEAM Building Challenge Task Cards based on book The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown. Pair these problem solving cards with the no-prep STEAM / STEM or sequencing worksheets, include them in your Makerspace, morning tubs, centers, as a reward, or as an activity for early finishers. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool, and even parents looking for fun, adventure filled activities for their children.
The Wild Robot Building Brick Challenge has 18 unique challenges created to follow the storyline in the order of the events as they happened.
What’s included in the 26 page download:
- 3 pages of 18 unique Full Color Challenge Task Cards
- 2 STEAM / STEM Worksheets in full color for early and upper elementary
- 5 Sequencing Worksheets in full color for the 18 challenges
- Instructions Page
- Terms of Use, Credits
- Black and White copies of the task cards, STEM / STEAM, and Sequencing Worksheets
How can you use these task cards?
⭐Build all the task cards in one sitting. This typically takes 1 – 2 hours to complete the set.
⭐Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using any available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them.
⭐Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet with some of the challenges that require more problem solving and creativity.
⭐Practice sequencing by having students do several cards at a time, and then draw pictures of what they built (or the scenarios on the task cards) in the sequencing boxes.
⭐Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build as many cards as predetermined, and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.
Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?
I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but that also force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when completing these challenges.
The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!
**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

The Great Gatsby SOCIAL CLASS WORKSHEETS | "Old Money" vs. "New Money"
By Rigorous Resources for High School English
NEW IN 2020: Rigorous! Engaging! Thought-provoking! This 5-page EDITABLE document helps your students to analyze the hierarchy of social classes and then to decode the signs of social status in The Great Gatsby. This activity promises to elicit dynamic engagement from all students without compromising on intellectual rigor. The worksheets on socioeconomic differences will challenge your students to dig beneath the surface of the text and generate profound interpretive insights!
Here's what you'll find inside:
• Symbolic Settings Worksheet (or Quiz): The first worksheet challenges students to come up with adjectives to describe East Egg and West Egg based on how those symbolic settings are described in The Great Gatsby. This worksheet can be used either as a fun exercise or as a quiz. (1 pages)
• Decoding Socioeconomic Status Handout: Not only was Fitzgerald was a careful reader of sociologist Thorstein Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), but he incorporated many of Veblen's insights into The Great Gatsby. For example, it was Veblen who coined the term "conspicuous consumption" to describe a type of consumer spending that was intended primarily to show off one's wealth — which is one reason why Gatsby's parties are so lavish! This handout features key quotations from Veblen and other sociologists that will help students arrive at a deeper understanding of the difference between "Old Money" and "New Money." (1 page).
• "Old Money" vs. "New Money" Worksheet (or Quiz): The second worksheet builds upon the handout above and enables teachers to assess whether students are able to decode status differences. The worksheet challenges students to determine whether 16 different adjectives — such as "refined," "ostentatious," "exuberant," and "aloof" — would most likely characterize "Old Money" or "New Money." Answer key included. (2 pages)
• Analyzing Evidence Worksheet: This short worksheet challenges students to connect Nick's assessment that Jordan is a "rotten driver" with Nick's last words to Gatsby, "They're a rotten crowd." Did Fitzgerald mean to suggest that the residents of East Egg and/or West Egg amount to a batch of rotten eggs? (1 page)
These worksheets will come to you in a 5-page EDITABLE Word document which you can customize to the needs of your students! The preview for this resource provides viewing access to the entire document. Click on the green “PREVIEW” button to see what you’ll get. . . .
Thank you for choosing “Rigorous Resources”!!
Happy teaching!
Adam Jernigan, Ph.D.
Note: These handouts on social class are also included in my Gatsby MEGA-Bundle. The bundle contains everything you'll need to deliver amazing and comprehensive lessons on Fitzgerald's novel: over 40 slides and over 240 pages of content-rich handouts and activities.

Struggling to engage young learners? Look no further than St. Patrick's Day! This festive holiday isn't just about shamrocks and leprechauns; it's a treasure trove for building essential language skills like rhyming. Here's why incorporating St. Patrick's Day rhymes into your lesson plan is pure gold:
Unlock a World of Words: Rhyming isn't just fun, it's fundamental! By matching sounds at the end of words (like "green" and "seen"), students expand their vocabulary and strengthen memory. This paves the way for smoother reading and writing, opening doors to a world of communication.
St. Paddy's Day Power-Up: Rhyming with a festive twist! Learning becomes a joyful adventure when it's filled with shamrocks, leprechauns, and pots of gold. Thematic rhymes keep students engaged and excited, making them eager to participate and learn.
Activities Galore! Rhyming goes beyond worksheets! Incorporate St. Patrick's Day rhymes into various activities to solidify learning. Here are some ideas:
- Poetry Workshops: Craft silly limericks or festive poems with these fun rhymes, fostering creativity and a love for language.
- Shamrock Shuffle Word Games: Play rhyming games like "I Spy" or "Go Fish" using St. Patrick's Day words to keep things lively and interactive.
- Sing Your Heart Out: Learning rhymes becomes a sing-along with catchy songs filled with St. Patrick's Day words. It's a fun way to practice pronunciation and build phonemic awareness – the ability to hear and identify sounds in words.
The Final Rainbow: With St. Patrick's Day rhymes, students gain fluency, build phonemic awareness, and solidify literacy skills in a fun and engaging way. It's the perfect springboard to set them on a path of reading and writing success!
